Yeah wow no. I understand their utility, but Watkins Glen and Pretorias rule over these.

Cheap, bomb-proof, 17" (best wheel diameter for appropriate sporty tire sidewall), looks decent.

KYGTIGuy · Tue May 28, 2019 4:09 pm

I need to buy new wheels for my snow tires so they'll fit on our minivan now that the car is gone.

I guess I'll sell the old steelies on Facebook marketplace? :iono

On our way out in a minute with boss bro, owner, dipwad CFO, and a few others to look at a warehouse we're considering leasing.
Nice! Field trip to the outside world!

Place was a good deal and a nice big space. I think we're gonna pull the trigger on it for a 3 year lease. :doomed:

It usually is a good time. I’ll also get to see my former boss and see how her new gig is going.
Lots of good learning to be done here, just spending a bunch of time on the train (2.5-3 hrs each day) so I have some free time to kill.

I agree! 17s would look better. But for a stock VW wheel, it's pretty damn good looking.

Not turrible at 5 hundo for a set.
